Part of me feels like I really wouldn't have minded them keeping that, because it's not like it would've been the exact same circumstances.

At the same time, I read a book toward the end of last year about the rotation of the Earth gradually slowing to the point the Earth eventually stopped turning and all the fallout/human cost that'd cause due to parts of the globe being uninhabitable. And part way through the book I thought "wow, I was really NOT in the mood for this right now" - so I get why a huge studio would scrap it's plague idea. I wasn't upset by it (after all, I chose that book) but I definitely wasn't as into it as I would've been in other years.

... was that andrew hunter murray's book

It was! Usually something that’s right up my street but it was a struggle on that occasion...

I don't think I would have enjoyed a plague storyline, but all they needed to do to fix the storyline they had was to be clearer about what the problem was and why Karli was trying to fix it that way. It did all come together in the end, but a dash of exposition in episode 1 or 2 would have helped a lot.

Yeah, I loved the show, but the central conflict with the Flag Smashers was the weakest link. When I heard they had to re-write that plot halfway through filming, so much made sense all of a sudden. That said, considering all the changes they had to make and all the hurdles they faced filming, the end product was amazing. One of the reasons I really hope they get another season, because I want to see what this team can do in better/normal circumstances.

I wish they did more to establish that the Flag Smashers were actually bad, because Sam and Torres are after them 100% when all they've done is a rob a bank. They just don't seem that big of a deal even after they've started blowing people up and sure I can reason out why they're bad (they want to go back to a world with half the population and that's just impossible so they're killing people/destroying things for no possible goal) and they go on and on about how they're fighting for their lives but when we see the refugee camps they look better than what we have (bright, open class rooms with 4 students to a teacher and tons of open space) so they don't even establish their plight that well. Like, the whole thing could have used 5 minutes of actually showing us what's going on because it feels like they are relying on a previous movie for the context but that movie doesn't actually exist.

IDK if the (rumored?) plague plot would have fixed these issues but I guess I can't expect Disney to sacrifice mass-market appeal for a slightly better story. They sure haven't in the past.
